11 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The toxicity moderation system of claim 1, wherein the first stage is trained using a database having training data with positive and/or negative examples of training content for the first stage.

4

4. The toxicity moderation system of claim 3, wherein the first stage discards at least a portion of the first-stage negative speech content.

6

6. The toxicity moderation system of claim 1, further comprising a random uploaded configured to upload portions of the speech that did not meet the toxicity threshold to the subsequent stage or a human moderator.

7

7. The toxicity moderation system of claim 1, further comprising a session context flagger configured to receive an indication that the speaker previously met the toxicity threshold within a pre-determined amount of time, and to: (a) adjust the toxicity threshold, or (b) upload portions of the speech that did not meet the toxicity threshold to the subsequent stage or a human moderator.

8

8. The toxicity moderation system of claim 1, further comprising a user context analyzer, the user context analyzer configured to adjust the toxicity threshold and/or the toxicity confidence based on the speaker's age, a listener's age, the speaker's geographic region, the speaker's friends list, history of recently interacted listeners, speaker's gameplay time, length of speaker's game, time at beginning of game and end of game, and/or gameplay history.

9

9. The toxicity moderation system of claim 1, further comprising an emotion analyzer trained to determine an emotion of the speaker.

10

10. The toxicity moderation system of claim 1, further comprising an age analyzer trained to determine an age of the speaker.

11

11. The toxicity moderation system of claim 1, further comprising a temporal receptive field configured to divide speech into time segments that can be received by at least one stage.

12

12. The toxicity moderation system of claim 1, further comprising a speech segmenter configured to divide speech into time segments that can be analyzed by at least one stage.

13

13. The toxicity moderation system of claim 1, wherein the first stage is more efficient than the second stage.

20

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the positive and/or negative examples relate to particular categories of toxicity.
